Session 32-MAO-32 1300 - 1500 Aeroelastic and Morphing Aircraft Programs Pearl Street Room This panel explores the state of the art of aeroelastic and morphing aircraft research efforts in an international context. Much of MDO originated in the strong coupling between aerodynamics and flexible structures experienced by high performance aircraft. This is still a major area of research worldwide. This panel will explore the state of the art of research efforts in European (e.g. 3AS - Active Aeroelastic Aircraft Structures) and American (e.g. DARPA - Morphing Aircraft Program) contexts. The panel will speculate on the challenges posed by massively distributed, decentralized system and control architectures, where large numbers of small actuators, sensors and propulsion elements are distributed throughout the system. This is expected to raise technical, computational and optimization issues that are different from those experienced by the more centralized systems that are in service today. As an example, the European research project 3AS (Active Aeroelastic Aircraft Structures) derived and optimized various design concepts to improve aircraft efficiency and performance by exploiting aeroelastic effects in a beneficial way, as well as finding and optimizing passive and active deformable structures concepts.
